  1. I don't worry about what they think Turnip, what have the Dutch done for me lately? [emoji9]
  2. USA women make it 1 - 0 vs Germany short of the 70 minute mark; this is a good game. O'Hara makes it 2 -0 at 84 minutes.
  3. Winnipeg just lamed our quarterback, time for plan B. The Riders are not a rich team but have a tremendous fan base. On home game days in Regina there is so much Rider green on the street you'd think it was a St Patrick's Day parade.Do a Google image search for Saskatchewan Roughriders fans; they hollow out watermellons and wear them as hats. The stores have to order extra trucks of watermellons. I'm not kidding!
  4. The Japan squad are really good; quick and instinctive against Aus today. I sort of dozed off for the end of that game but saw most of it.
  5. This is a screenshot of Mosaic Stadium in Regina 45 minutes ago, the Saskatchewan Roughriders colours are green and white.[emoji3]
  6. I left the room for 5 minutes, no more than 5 minutes... [emoji53] It will be a morale challenge. No empty seats in that stadium! 37C, A/C, TV, CFL, FIFA, G&T
  7. Give me a couple of hours to charm her and she'll be sweet as pie.
  8. post 74, I thought I remembered this! [emoji3]
  9. Brewers yeast contains the chitin that they get from the ectoskeletons of crayfish and insects. Tomatoes have it as well but I consider them too acidic.
  10. That's a surprise, even though all that bribery happened on his watch if they had any real dirt on him he would've been charged with the rest.
  11. Try to get good pictures; I want to see the look in their eyes.
  12. My condolences as well. I hope you don't find this inappropriate. https://youtu.be/D2UQTrd4oAY I was listening to it.
  13. That makes sense. The first picture, not the second one but human error could be a factor.
  14. I didn't really get to like Red Red Wine until a friend gave me the soundtrack album from Bringing Out the Dead.
  15. They were on the radio here and charted, but Bob Marley and the Wailers dominated the reggae scene so much it was only a few cover hits that were played. Also in Canada there is a 'Can-con' (Canadian content) regulation which dictates a certain percentage of airplay has to be Canadian artists so playlists on most mainstream fm stations (especially the syndicated ones) gets pretty stale.
  16. If they hadn't cut Red Red Wine would anyone have even heard of them? Wiki'd up; as a band now they appear totally disfunctional, every conflict save shooting.
  17. Nothing wrong with making your own and there are many things right with it. A few simple guidelines and you're in. When I made my first ones they were some crude crude stuff and I hauled on it.
  18. I made my sisters drag 3oz bell sinkers back from the US (a hundred at a time - twice!) and they were 50 - 60 cents ea so about half price. They'll never do that again! I liked those because I could hammer them a bit like the commercial flat pear leads that don't roll as much. Big inline 3, 4, and 5 oz that I bought for catfishing in the Red River are handy where the current is too fast for anything smaller.
  19. Casting pyramid sinkers isn't hard and doesn't cost much, my friend and I used to make 60 or 70 in one go using a self-made mould and cast off wheel weights or old weights from commercial fishing nets. If you want pears or other carping-purpose shapes you need a mould for it but the pyramids work and cost next to nothing if you can make them. Don't poison yourself (voice of experience here).

  20. In Canada I've gotten away with buying new reels from England sent by post and no duty or tax and VAT discounted from purchase but 2nd hand rods from the US sent by post held up by customs and sales tax and a collection fee charged on delivery. It's a bit of a crap shoot here. Using mail instead of courier service generally gets me out of paying any duty or fees to custom houses so I always use the mail when buying anything from outside tbe country. Conversly I know owners of a tackle shop who have an account with a courier company through necessity for the business and they have no trouble with them. Oz is further away (from anywhere, ha ha) so likely very different. When I ordered my reels from Billy Clarke in Sheffield they quoted me way more for postage than I thought it would be and I said why? They said well they weigh x which is more than Royal Mail's cutoff for the lower tier price. I said but the specs say they weigh Y! He said yes but with the boxes, spare spools etc it's over, let me weigh again and I'll get back. He comes back and says without either the boxea or the spare spools I can mail them for the lower cost. I said wonderful, keep the boxes. A week later I had my reels and spare spools. Really got to hand it to the guy, between that and patience confirming my credit card I'd say they went the extra mile to get my gear to me, and that's why I always name them.
